Emma Corrin, who used Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka as the model for a sinister new part, said the fictional character was one of the greatest villains of any era. The issue of contention has long been the oddball owner of the chocolate business, portrayed on movie by Johnny Depp in the 2005 remake and Gene Wilder in the 1971 adaptation. According to the conspiracy hypothesis, he killed four children while giving a tour of his factory, making him a “serial killer.”
In the upcoming Marvel movie Deadpool & Wolverine, Corrin, who rose to stardom as Diana, Princess of Wales in The Crown, portrays the villainous Cassandra Nova. To prepare for this act, the actor referred to Wilder’s perspective. Corrin remarked, “There’s something extravagant in Gene Wilder’s performance,” calling Wilder’s emergence “one of the best villains of all time.” She added, “And it’s a similar energy that Christoph Waltz has [playing a Nazi] in Inglourious Basterds, because he’s wearing a uniform so he can sit there and drink a glass of milk and pretend he’s a f—ing fairy godmother.”
In Dahl’s tale, Veruca Salt descends a chute, Mike Teavee shrinks to the size of a pocket, Violet Beauregarde becomes a blueberry, and Augustus Gloop falls into a dark chocolate river. In interviews, Wilder—who passed away in 2016—told Peter Ostrom, the young actor portraying Charlie Bucket, that he scared him during an instance by shrieking at him; he had saved it for the moment the cameras surged when he wanted to induce a terrifying response.
Due to the fact that “it is a major contrast to my normal roles – and I always wanted to play a villain,” Corrin embraced the chance to star in Deadpool & Wolverine.t the cameras swayed when he wanted to legitimately bore a genuine terrifying response.
